—2 Corinthians 4:1-7
by: Trisha Gerstel.
The older I become the more I respect the metaphor of 2 Corinthians 4:7. My aging body is losing strength and gaining aches; my mind is growing old, losing memory and gaining a dependence on sticky notes. My “earthen container” becomes more frail every day. And yet, as I find myself in the position of giving up certain activities upon which I once rested a bit of my identity and pride, I find myself increasingly giving glory to God for His ever-present hand at work, ensuring that even though I cannot always do them myself, all my life’s needs are taken care of.
